Senior Centers are places where seniors can engage in activities together during the day. It is a place to commence in friendship, and spirit.
At these centers, various activities are provided. Breakfast and Lunch are also included, as well as excursions to and from grocery stores, post offices, etc.. which may be difficult for the seniors to get to themselves. Many of the members are no longer able to drive and depend on such centers to provide mental and emotional support.
As a Podiatrist, I have found that many seniors also appreciate podiatric services to be available at the senior center. The seniors find comfort that a medical professional is able to deliver their services in a senior facility.
We visited such a center last week, in Somerset, NJ. The seniors were more than happy to see us, and found it much easier than having to travel to a doctor's office; They would have to find a relative who would have to take them there; and that could take months.
